Solicitor-drafted powers of attorney documents and forms

Why a MyLawyer power of attorney?

A power of attorney lets you give people you trust the authority to look after your affairs, such as your finances or personal welfare. At MyLawyer, we recognise that making a power of attorney requires a lot of thought, so we're here to explain the different kinds available and help you find the right one for your circumstances. We will then guide you through the process from start to finish.

'Powers of attorney', sometimes abbreviated to POA, are legal documents which allow you to give authority to someone else – a family member or friend, for example - to manage your financial and/or personal affairs on your behalf.

A 'Lasting power of attorney for health and welfare' is a legal document in which you can authorise someone to make decisions about your personal welfare and care in the event that you become mentally incapable of making these decisions for yourself.

A 'Lasting power of attorney for property and financial affairs' is a legal document in which you authorise someone to permanently look after your financial matters should you become either physically and/or mentally unable to do so yourself.
